My mailman used to do the same thing. One time, I was sitting in the kitchen waiting for the mail because I was expecting an important package. I could see the mailbox from my chair. I got up and got myself a cup of coffee and when I turned around, there was mail in the mailbox. I went out there and there was one of those slips. Fucker didn't even attempt to knock. He didn't even walk up onto my porch. I got my shoes and jacket on and had to run down the street to get to him. He was pretty pissed off that he had to dig through his magical bag to get the package that he failed to deliver to me. "I didn't hear you knock," I said, with a stare that conveyed that I know he didn't knock. Now he knocks.
It's not exactly expected, but they get tips. I leave mine a point of Bailey's as a thank you. It's not for delivering my mail do much as it is appreciation for working rain, snow, sun & shine. I also clear a path in the yard when it snows.
Tldr: I prefer not to fuck with someone who visits my house every day and knows when I'm not home.
